#WritingPrompt: three random words — relevance, distortion and earwax

Whispers of Truth

Relevance, Distortion and Earwax?

Earwax mutes
yet
in faint whispers
the truth still persists
pause, slow down
listen with care
present is Truth’s song
rare maybe soft but very clear
time to rejoice!
Alas, distortion whispers, relevance?
Oh, where does it belong!

Thank you to Lucy Dan 蛋小姐 (she/her/她) for the prompt: #WritingPrompt: three random words — relevance, distortion, and earwax. As I was watching the news with heavy coverage of current political issues, the idea of truth, distortions, relevance, and even earwax didn’t seem so random after all. The result is this piece that delves into the subtleties of truth amidst life’s chaos and an invitation to mindfulness, urging us to listen keenly to life’s whispers and find gratitude in its simple joys. So — dear reader — I invite you to join me in this journey of slowing down, listening, and connecting with the whispers of truth, common sense, and even the mundane distractions like earwax, and to be kind to yourself and those around you.

Thank you for reading!
